We've seen this before, in Germany, in the run-up to all-out government murder of Jewish persons and others that were made marginalized. The German youth were (overall) all too eager to push a hateful rhetoric and create havoc. We are seeing its resurgence here, IMO. Anti-Semitism, and I also feel anti-Christian, rhetoric and evil action by evil persons who have gathered around a cause I doubt they even know much about. MOO.
Agreed.
Sadly there's not much difference.
Hating people who have not harmed you, and for a reason they're not responsible for --only makes the haters look ignorant and evil.
Imo.

It is insanity. This young many destroyed three lives. Throws his own life away to murder two young people he didn't know, who never did anything to him, and never harmed anyone, just to make a political statement. Does he think he will be a hero, a martyr? Will he be treated as one?

I am so very sorry that you have to go through this. I can't believe what is happening in this world. Please know that I stand with Israel and I always will. You are Lions who will survive and get through this one way or another.

Thank you SO much, @LunaticFringe.
Kindness now means everything.
I appreciate all of you who took the time to denounce this act of terror. Thank you!
Still do not know where this killer got his motive- knows Palestinians? radicalized? ...and he did not kill himself. Did he just pick any random people leaving this event? the irony about him going into the Museum building and being helped by staff is too much.

Community members are reeling from the loss of their friends and contending with the “disbelief that something like this happened in our own community, and to people who we know,” Preuss said.
He added that sometimes he feels people “don’t take seriously” safety concerns raised by the Jewish community, despite the pattern of antisemitic attacks. Concerns about the rise of rhetoric like “globalized intifada,” Preuss said, are often brushed off as “just language.”

You know where I stand Arkay. Americans not feeling safe in America is NOT okay and simply because someone is Jewish makes it even more unacceptable. Hate is an evil cancer. I don't know what the solution is, but I know the opposite of hate is love.

The Long Island family of one of the two Israeli Embassy employees killed in an alleged antisemitic attack in Washington, D.C. this week are mourning the couple’s deaths.
Leaders of the Community Synagogue in Port Washington said a first cousin of Sarah Lynn Milgrim is a member of the congregation. Milgrim and her fiancé Yaron Lischinsky were gunned down as they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum on May 21. The suspect allegedly made pro-Palestinian statements to police upon his arrest.
“This heinous act of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate reminds us that as Jews, our fate here is connected with those there in Israel,” the synagogue said in a statement. “Our hearts are broken and angry — for their families, for all in Israel, for the Jews of this country, and for how this act may engender only more hate and increased violence.”

My heart was burdened with great sorrow to learn of Wednesday night’s shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC that resulted in the senseless death of two young adults working for the Israeli Embassy.
In the name of the clergy, consecrated religious, and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I extend prayerful condolences to the family and friends of Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.
